Chia caviar

From today I’m starting a new category, named FOOD. At least for now I will keep it simple, I will post simple recipes, easy to prepare and healthy. The idea of fashion blog will remain Â the main idea of this blog Â that newly created sections (FOOD and TRAVELING) will only bring some extra diversity. The variety is the spice of life!

I recently discovered the chia seeds so I decided that for the first post from FOODÂ categoryÂ to be a simple and tasty recipe called chia caviar salad.

For preparing this salad I mixed 80Â gramsÂ of chia seeds which 100 ml of water, over which IÂ added 25 ml of olive oil, the juice of one lemon and half of chopped onion. If you have a small onion you can put it all. For a plus of flavorÂ I added a bit of HimalayanÂ salt. For some time already I’m using Himalayan salt because is rich in minerals and helps to eliminate the toxins from the body. I don’t use it only in the kitchen I also use it in the bathroom having benefits for the skin also.

I suggest you to leave the salad to “rest” for about an hour so the flavors will mixed between them and it will be more delicious than if a serve it immediately (at least so it seemed to me). Also, depending on your taste you can also add or reduce the amount of lemon juice or the olive oil. I always have a tendency to reduce the quantity of oil and sugar in any recipe and not necessarily for aÂ healthÂ reasons is more a tasteÂ matter.

Next, I will present some of the properties and benefits of the chia seeds foundÂ here:
